Hello,

Your ultrasound is a complicated set of results...your doctor should have answered all these questions at your appt.

Most important, hysterectomy is a LAST RESORT!!!!!! Do not let any medical professional talk you into such a life altering procedure when you don't even have an adequate reason from him/her. WHY would he recommend hysterectomy??? If you want to read my take on hyst...please read this previous post: http://forums.obgyn.net/endo/ENDO.0102/0734.html

You are in control of your healthcare, you need to ask these questions before making such a decision.

I hope you find some answers and relief.

luck and love, SusieQ
